Courses to prepare for DELF DALF exams, Practice for test in French as a foreign language

The DELF (Diploma in French language studies) and DALF (Diploma in developed French language studies) are the official diplomas delivered by the CIEP (Centre International d’Etudes Pédagogiques) and the French Ministry of national education.

There are 6 levels: A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2. The B2 level is required for students applying to French universities and it can also be required in other Francophone universities (in Switzerland, Belgium, Canada etc). The C1 level can also be required in certain cases. The B2 and C1 levels facilitate professional integration worldwide. The DELF and DALF are recognised internationally and they are valid indefinitely. Currently they remain the best certification of your French proficiency at an international level.

LSF organises 5 weeks DELF B1, B2, DALF C1 and DALF C2 preparation courses several times throughout the year according to the exam dates. The class sizes at LSF French language school are small, often 8 students, with a maximum of 10 students per class.

In addition to the 20 Standard group lessons in the morning, the students take specific French courses which are dedicated to the preparation of the DELF/DALF exams some afternoons.

20 Standard group lessons of 45 minutes each in the morning (15 hours)
+ 6 specific French group lessons of 45 minutes each twice a week in the afternoon (2 x 2h15)
= 19h30 of French classes per week during 5 weeks.

Lessons are based on repetition, and mock exams are organised for each component of the exam. This course focuses on strengthening the 4 skills that will be tested in the exam: oral comprehension, written comprehension, written production, and oral production. The students work on the methodology, vocabulary and all the themes specific to these exams, while developing their grammatical and communicative skills. You will be given mock exams in the different parts of the exam. The success rate of candidates prepared for these exams by LSF is almost 100%.
